Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
There are over 60 offices of inspectors general in executive and
legislative branch agencies, as well as special inspectors general,
who are responsible for audits and investigations related to
particular programs or expenditures. Inspectors General draw their
authorities and duties from the Inspector General Act of 1978. This
book addresses the duties and functions of statutory Inspectors
General (IGs); the numbers of each type of IG; the differences
between IGs appointed by the President and those appointed by the
agency head; considerations for whether certain IGs should be
appointed by the President as opposed to the agency head; and, the
Inspector General Reform Act of 2008.
The burgeoning terrain of Martin Luther King Jr. studies is leading
to a new appreciation of his thought and its meaningfulness for the
emergence and shaping of the twenty-first-century world. This
volume brings together an impressive array of scholars from various
backgrounds and disciplines to explore the global significance of
King-then, now, and in the future. Employing King's metaphor of
"the great world house," the major focus is on King's appraisal of
the global-human struggle in the 1950s and 1960s, his relevance for
today's world, and how future generations might constructively
apply or appropriate his key ideas and values in addressing racism,
poverty and economic injustice, militarism, sexism, homophobia, the
environmental crisis, globalization, and other challenges
confronting humanity today. The contributors treat King in context
and beyond context, taking seriously the historical King while also
exploring how his name, activities, contributions, and legacy are
still associated with a globalized rights culture.
